I thought it was a little something I could do as I have now lost both my parents this morning.

My dad passed away this morning in his sleep (65) and my mom passed away from cancer a little over a year ago (60). My brother is at home, but I am far away right now till I can book a flight home.

Peace be with them both.

Mike

My deepest sympathies for you Mike. That must be very very hard, especially while you're over there a few thousand miles away. I hope you are ok and recover soon. One day at a time.

I'm sorry Mike, I hope you find some comfort from those around you.

I lost both my parents, it's hard to explain, but it felt like I had lost my parents and my role as "child".

May they rest in peace.

If they are anything like you they were wonderful people who lived a wonderful fulfilling life. They may have passed but they are never gone.

Peace be with you and all your family. Remember the good times.
